Variation 1 - This variation introduced the following change:

i. The introduction of two new types of sounder; these are designated the IS-mA2 Sounder and the
IS-mA3 Sounder.
The IS-mA2 Sounder is similar to the original IS-mA1 Sounder, the differences being that it has
a new printed circuit board layout and a new ‘low profile’ enclosure base. Cable entry is via a
‘knockout’ in the bottom of the enclosure base, this enclosure base, and thus the sounder, being
designed for attachment to other equipment.
The parameters of the IS-mA2 Sounder are as follows:
Terminals Parameters
Ui Ii Pi Ci Li
Terminal + w.r.t. Terminal - 28 V 93 mA 660 mW 0 0
Terminals S2 and S3 w.r.t. Terminal - 28 V 0 - - -
The IS-mA3 Sounder is similar to the original IS-mA1 Sounder, the differences being the addition
of several components to the circuit, a different connection arrangement, a new printed circuit board
layout and a new ‘low profile’ enclosure base. Cable entry is via a ‘knockout’ in the bottom of the
enclosure base, this enclosure base, and thus the sounder, being designed for attachment to other
equipment.
The parameters of the IS-mA3 Sounder are as follows:
Terminals Parameters
Ui Ii Pi Ci Li
Terminal + w.r.t. Terminals S2 and S3 28 V 93 mA 660 mW 0 0
Variation 2 - This variation introduced the following change:
i. The introduction of a group I, category M1 version of the IS-mA1M Sounder, this version is known
as the IS-mA1M Sounder and is marked as detailed in section 12, the parameters are as follows:
Terminals Parameters
Ui Ii Pi Ci Li
Terminal + w.r.t. Terminals S2 and S3 28 V 93 mA 660 mW 0 0
Terminals S2 & S3 w.r.t. Terminal - 28 V - - - 0
Variation 3 - This variation introduced the following change:
i. The review and upgrade of the certificates listed to the latest standards: EN 60079-0:2006,
EN 60079-11:2007, EN 60079-26:2007, IEC 60079-0:2007 Ed 5, IEC 60079-11:2006 Ed 5 and
IEC 60079-26:2006.
Variation 4 - This variation introduced the following change:
i. Following appropriate assessment to demonstrate compliance with the latest technical knowledge,
the documents previously listed, EN 60079-0:2006, EN 60079-11:2007and EN 60079-26:2007 were

• The equipment has an ingress protection rating of IP65. However, if it has been supplied without
cable entry devices, then the user shall ensure that the devices that are fitted will provide an ingress
protection that is appropriate to the environment in which it is installed i.e. IP20 or better. If only
one of the two cable entries are used, then the unused entry ‘knockout’ shall be left intact or fitted

installed i.e. IP20 or better.
• The total capacitance connected to Terminals + wrt – (i.e. the capacitance of the cable plus any
other capacitance) shall not exceed 83 nF.
• The enclosure is non-conducting and may generate an ignition-capable level of electrosatic charges
under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a
location where it may be subjected to external conditions that might cause a build-up of electrostatic
charges on non-conducting surfaces, additionally, cleaning of the equipment should be done only
with a damp cloth.
• The equipment shall only be supplied via Terminals + w.r.t. Terminals – from a barrier having a
maximum open circuit voltage Uo that is ≤28 V and a maximum short circuit current Io that is
≤93 mA, where Io is resistively limited. The barrier shall be ATEX certified by a notified body.
15.2 Conditions for IS-mB1 Beacon
